Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for the configuration of a tire pressure sensor and to a computer program product for carrying out such a method on a mobile radio device.
  • Tire pressure sensors are there to determine the internal pressure in a wheel within the tire. This tire pressure can then be transmitted via a radio interface to the control unit of the vehicle.
  • a safety advantage is achieved because the vehicle and in this way the driver of the vehicle always has information about the tire pressure in the respective wheel.
  • a slow or gradual loss of tire pressure can be detected in good time and in this way information is provided to the driver of the vehicle.
  • a disadvantage of the known solutions is that the adaptation of the tire pressure sensors connected to the respective vehicle with great effort is.
  • the communication in the form of a communication protocol between the respective tire pressure sensor and the control unit of the respective vehicle is dependent on the vehicle type or the vehicle manufacturer.
  • Other parameters such.
  • As measuring ranges, trip limits or the actual signal format of the tire pressure sensor are vehicle-specific or vehicle type specific.
  • two different forms of tire pressure sensors are currently offered. These are on the one hand vehicle-specific tire pressure sensors, which are factory-configured to the respective vehicle. For garages, this means that such specific tire pressure sensors must be stored for all vehicle types that occur in the workshop. This results in a high storage costs with the appropriate space requirements, the appropriate logistics and the associated costs.
  • An inventive method thus serves for basically known configuration of the tire pressure sensor on a vehicle.
  • this configuration refers to at least one specific sensor parameter for the respective vehicle.
  • a sensor parameter can be a corresponding communication format for the associated specific control device of the vehicle.
  • Other sensor parameters may alternatively or additionally be used for the configuration. For example. These may be the measuring ranges of the tire pressure sensor or corresponding triggering limits.
  • the format of the transmitted signal can be vehicle-specific adaptable by a configuration with a method according to the invention.
  • a crucial step of the present invention is that the method establishes a data communication link between the tire pressure sensor and a mobile device.
  • a mobile radio device is to be understood as a device which does not represent a specific programming device for the tire pressure sensor. Rather, one is Mobile device each device, which serves as a primary function of mobile or similar use.
  • a mobile device is thus understood to mean a mobile telephone or a so-called tablet PC.
  • a primary function of a mobile radio device is therefore in particular a continued use, in particular a private or business use of this device by the corresponding user.

  • the method according to the invention is carried out on the basis of this secure handling quality, which in turn assists on the one hand the security in dealing with the configuration and above all the speed in the configuration. Since tire pressure sensors usually have to be configured at high speed in order to achieve correspondingly high throughput in the workshop, even slight speed improvements in the minute range are of decisive and, above all, economic importance.
  • a correlation of a sensor parameter with a typical or specific vehicle is to be understood in accordance with the invention.
  • actively entering or selecting from a list may include a specific correlation of a plurality of possible sensor parameters with one specific vehicle. This selection is preferably carried out on a display device of the mobile device, for. B. on a so-called touch screen.
  • the activation of the at least one selected sensor parameter in the tire pressure sensor relates to the configuration result.
  • this sensor parameter can now be assigned to the function of the tire pressure sensor by the activation, so that in use the tire pressure sensor uses this selected sensor parameter with regard to the associated mode of operation. If, for example, a vehicle-type-specific or vehicle manufacturer-specific transmission protocol has been selected as the specific sensor parameter, then the activation takes place in such a way that the sensor parameter communicates with the control device of the vehicle with this selected communication protocol.
  • the selection and the activation with regard to the actual storage location of the sensor parameter can take place both in the mobile radio device and in the tire pressure sensor. A communication from these two memory locations is conceivable within the meaning of the present invention. If the tire pressure sensor has a relatively large storage space, then all possible sensor parameters can be stored there. The selection and activation takes place in this way, so to speak by the screen function of the mobile device, so that z. For example, a so-called tag is set to the specific and selected sensor parameter. If, in contrast, at least a part of the possible sensor parameters is stored in the mobile radio device, then the activation may additionally include a transmission of the selected sensor parameter via the data communication connection as well as a corresponding storage in the executable memory unit in the tire pressure sensor.
  • the inventive method is not limited to the configuration of a single tire pressure sensor. Rather, two or more, in particular as will be explained later, all tire pressure sensors of a vehicle can jointly pass through this configuration process. By implementing a single method for configuring two or more tire pressure sensors, an even greater time advantage is accordingly achieved. It is important to ensure that the appropriate Data communication connection has sufficient range to configure all tire pressure sensors within this range accordingly.

Not least, in this way, the interface complexity in the respective tire pressure sensors can be further reduced and in particular a method according to the invention can already be used for existing tire pressure sensors become.
  • Another advantage of this embodiment is that in the vehicle, the ignition must be turned on to put the controller in a corresponding communication mode. This avoids in particular the risk of abuse in a method according to the invention.
  • the computer peripherals of the control unit can be used, which reduces the technical outlay for the respective tire pressure sensor or the technical requirement profile to the mobile radio device.

  • a storage of such sensor parameters via a separate app or in the context of the present method is conceivable within the meaning of the present invention.
  • This possibility entails that a reduction of the data volume and thus a reduction of the transmission time is possible for the configuration transmission, ie the necessary duration for a transmission via the data communication connection.
  • this embodiment can also be combined with other memory locations using a memory unit, as explained in the following paragraphs.
  • the selection of the at least one sensor parameter specific to the vehicle takes place from a database in which the respective specific sensor parameter, in particular in correlation to the respective vehicle, is stored.

  • An assistance function can also be embodied in the mobile radio device as part of the method according to the invention, so that a mis-correlation due to the corresponding correlation information in the database between the specific sensor parameter and the vehicle can be excluded.
  • two or more sensor parameters can be stored grouped as specific sensor parameters in the database, so that the selection of such a sensor parameter group can take place, as will be explained in more detail later.
